The JRF Community Health Center provides preventive and primary care services to underserved and uninsured populations in a culturally competent environment—regardless of race, ethnicity, or ability to pay.

Thank you to the New Jersey Primary Care Association (NJPCA) for hosting and welcoming us to the 2026 Women’s Health Week Luncheon. The New Jersey Primary Care Association, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), dignitaries, and partners from across the state came together on Friday, May 15, at Forsgate Country Club to celebrate National Women’s Health Week.

It was a wonderful afternoon filled with connection, smiles, celebration, and a shared commitment to advancing women’s health throughout New Jersey. We at the Jewish Renaissance Foundation truly appreciate your year-round support and the opportunities you create for us to connect with fellow FQHCs, changemakers, and healthcare heroes dedicated to strengthening healthcare across our communities.

Happy National Women’s Health Week, May 10–16, 2026! 💜
This year’s theme, “Prevention, Innovation, and Impact: A New Era in Women’s Health,” highlights the importance of proactive, science-driven, and coordinated approaches to care.

Your health matters — this week and every week. Taking time to focus on your well-being today can lead to better outcomes for your future. Whether it’s scheduling your annual check-up, a screening, or following up on a health concern, every step toward prioritizing your health is important. You know your body best, and seeking care early when something feels off is a vital part of your health journey.

WomensHealth.gov has developed helpful educational fact sheets we've included in this post, including tips to improve health care visits and resources to support women at every stage of life.

Let us be part of your journey at the JRF Community Health Center. Schedule your appointment today by calling (732) 482-9600.

This week we recognize Mental Health Awareness Week — a reminder that mental health is just as important as physical health.

Your mind and body are deeply connected. Stress, anxiety, and depression can impact sleep, heart health, and immune function — while caring for your mental well-being can improve energy, focus, and overall quality of life.

At the JRF Community Health Center, we see the strength it takes to keep going. Healing doesn’t always look big — sometimes it’s simply showing up:

“Right now, a ‘good day’ looks like having enough energy to show up, feeling a bit more grounded in my body, and having at least one moment of genuine connection.”

“A good day includes…being with people I love or having free time to do what I wish on my own.”

No matter where you are in your journey, you don’t have to navigate it alone. We offer compassionate, accessible mental health services for our community — with care available for all through our sliding fee scale.
